In the event of his dying without leaving children, then I give, devise and bequeath the said farm; and the dwelling house and barn thereon, to the children of my son William, to be equally divided amongst them.

2. I give, devise and bequeath unto my executor hereinafter named that farm situate at Kilbride aforesaid, upon which I now reside, and all the buildings and erections on the same and all the stock consisting of horses, cows, sheep, poultry, &c. &c. and all the furniture in the said house and buildings, and all the agricultural implements, machinery, and farm stock of every description; also that farm known as "Lundrigan’s Marsh", situate at Kilbride aforesaid, and adjoining property of the late Denis Murrin; also that farm known as "Sweeney’s Marsh"; also that farm known as "the Back Farm", near Hearn’s, and land formerly owned by one Lawrence Byrne; to hold the said farms, dwellings, furniture, stock, farming implements, &c. unto my said executor in trust to apply the profits, rents and receipts from the same to the support and maintenance of the widow and children of my son William during the life of the said widow, and until the youngest child shall have attained the age of twenty-one years; and on the happening of the said events then to dispose of the said properties, and divide the proceeds equally amongst the children, or representatives of the children, of my said son William then living.

3. Out of whatever moneys shall come into the hands of my executor after my death I desire that he shall pay over to my three daughters, Mary, Bridget and Margaret, the sum of forty dollars each.

4. I appoint E.P. Morris executor of this my last will and testament.
